Hi Sally, I have had Gerd, gastritis, constipation for years, have been to 4 of 5 Doctors, only to be told to take laxatives. Finally went to a good gastroenterologist, who did a colonoscopy and diagnosed me with tortuous colon, pancreatic insufficiency, lot of inflammation. He put me on Creon a prescription for pancreas enzymes and mesalamine for inflammation. I took my information to a nutritionist. She put me on a diet that was high in nutrition, basically soft foods, breakfast and lunch were smoothies with almond milk, protein powder, fruit, veggies, MCT Oil. She gave me a whole folders of recipes of lunches and dinner, soups. I chose six meetings on line with her for questions and suggestions. She was great, that was six or more months ago. Its helped with stomach issues and constipation, as long as I stick to it.
Feel free to ask me any questions.

Hi, this is very helpful. Would you mind sharing a little more about your smoothies you do for breakfast and lunch. What kind of protein powder do you use and vegetables and fruit? I too have a tortuous colon. Struggled my whole life with constipation. Diagnosed with colonoscopy at 18, now 34. Tried all kinds of medicine. I take miralax and motegrity and still get blockages on my lower left side where the kinks are really bad. I'm thinking about doing smoothies for breakfast and lunch too now from your suggestion. Thank you so much to everyone on this site. It gives me hope.
